This signboard measures approximately nineteen inches wide and twelve and a half inches tall, mounted on wood a quarter inch deep. Signs are intended for indoor use. A metal bracket is affixed to the back to make hanging it simple.

Each wooden signboard is handcrafted at Studio Carnivalia by the artist, Chas Bogan.

I have often been envious when seeing the signs of local psychic readers. I'm not talking the garish neon variety, but the more original fair that one finds among psychics stylish enough to house themselves in old Victorians--such as pepper the neighborhoods of the Bay Area where I have lived all my life. On more than one occasion I have even stopped in to get a reading, as much to see the decor of the parlor as to learn that for few hundred dollars I could have some dreaded curse lifted from me that I had been woefully unaware was plaguing me.

Aside from an uncanny ability to guess what Simpson's episode will be rerun before I sit down to watch, I do not fancy myself to be psychic, yet that does not mean I cannot display such a signboard, and perhaps such a statement present in my environment might coax latent psychic talents to surface in me.

And if not, I find this sign to be fetching nonetheless. It looks as though it is of another age, and its subject matter is eccentric, and that is the sort of thing I enjoy surrounding myself with. Perhaps you will as well.

This talking board features the strange world of Lewis Carroll's Alice. Designed by Chas Bogan, this board debuted at an auction for the New Orlean’s Witches Ball in 2016. The theme of the ball was Alice In Wonderland, and so it seemed fitting to use the much loved illustrations of John Tenniel. To offset the designed chaos of the composition, a simple...

Measures 13" by 19". Finished product does not feature watermark Carnivalia logo. Planchette included. Our 'Boneyard Bats' Dial Plate was so popular, with folk continually asking for a similar design in a spirit board, that for Halloween 2014 we added this design to our collection. The watermark for Carnivalia does not appear on the product, but is featured here to...

The Angel of Death crowns this spiritboard, overseeing your seance. Skillfully rendered by artist Daniel Skellington, this winged figure seems almost to emerge three-dimensionally, while blending with the marbled background. The sensuality of this figure is matched by the board's flowing script, reminding us of how seductive the spirits can be. This is a quality artisan product, and all elements,...

This board was designed in 2015 by Chas Bogan for Carnivalia. German die cast decorations from the early 20th century celebrating themes of Halloween were the inspiration for this talking board. The devil figure central to this composition has long been a favorite of mine, and I was glad to finally find a project to place him in. A crow,...

Designed by artist Storm Faerywolf, this board has a classic design, reminiscent of an antique talkingboard. This board features the 'Elven Star.' This seven-pointed star is a form of sacred geometry, believed to serve as a portal into other realms, most notable the domain of Faery, where Celtic lore also places the souls of the dead. This is a quality...

Staring from within an image of ancient wood, the all-seeing eye looks deep beyond the mundane world, to peer into the realm of the beyond. What will it see when you use this board? The past? The present? Or even the future? And what will be given voice? Angels? Demons? Spirits of the dead? Only you can answer, as you...

Say 'goodbye' to your old, spooky talking board and open your heart to this romantic design, ideal for exploring topics of love, and bestowing a sensual landscape to connect you with the memories of loved ones now lost to your touch.Uses for talkingboards vary, for while some people seek to speak with the spirits of the deceased, others call out...

For the October 2012 issue of Modern Witch Magazine Carnivalia artist Chas Bogan was asked to both write an article addressing how best to work with a Ouija board, titled 'Playing With Dead Things,' and to create a new talking board for the magazine. Originally colored moss green, in 2013 he released this sibling design in this ghostly color. This...
